Mimesis is a museum proposal designed to host digital art, media installations, and multi-sensory experiences. Developed as my graduation project during my architectural studies, it also marked the beginning of my deeper interest in spatial approaches to media art.

Rather than treating architecture as a fixed container, I approached the design as a flexible framework for digital encounters, shaped by light, rhythm, and embodied interaction. The museum was imagined as a space where projection-based works, sound-responsive pieces, and temporal installations could unfold fluidly across layers of scale and intimacy.

The project site in Maçka, Istanbul included an abandoned gas chamber, a structure that remained as a bare steel frame. I proposed its reuse as an open-air installation area, holding tension between industrial memory and contemporary media presence. Interestingly, a similar transformation was later realized in an actual gas chamber renovation project elsewhere in Istanbul, unintentionally reflecting my original concept.

Though grounded in architectural education, Mimesis stands as a turning point in my creative path where physical space and media practice began to converge. It remains one of my first explorations into how environments can not only support but become part of the artistic experience.
